PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- The chances of the Mets re-signing veteran first baseman Carlos Delgado just went from infinitesimal to zero.

Delgado's agent, David Sloane, told Fox's Ken Rosenthal on Saturday that Delgado had another hip surgery this week and will be out four months. The report says Delgado is currently walking on crutches.

The Mets have already moved on from Delgado with Daniel Murphy as their likely Opening Day starter at first base and Fernando Tatis and Mike Jacobs possible options off the bench.

They had some interest in re-signing Delgado going into the offseason but weren't convinced that he would be mobile enough to play first base after watching him play in winter ball in Puerto Rico.

Delgado, 37, had the initial hip surgery last May and missed the rest of the 2009 season.
